The passing words that the mind generates -- one minute they are loud and clear, as if I will remember them for months and the next hour they are like small snowflakes melting into the warming sun called time. Wish there was a way to commemorate these..without picking up my laptop or pen...something like getting recorded by the thin air around me. Yes, I know there are better gadgets available..recorder, smart phones...but I just don't want to touch any of those, specially when am not that used to touchscreen..my fat fingers just don't fit on the sleek keys...Yes I also know I can get a stylus...but so much for binding thoughts into memories...

Just being thoughtful

"Think before you leap" -- but if I think I wont really leap :-) Thoughtfulness -- is it an overrated trait? Does it mar spontaneity? Is it an indication of inactivity? When you are a kid, your moral science teacher leaves no stone unturned in making you feel -- "Gods want you to be thoughtful - in your actions, deeds and thoughts" :) So, we grew up thinking what to say next , how to act best. Till we reach the big bad world - where no body waits for your thoughts. And then you are introduced to "Actions speak louder than words! (or should it be thoughts?)" .
Am I what I think? or Am I what I do? I may not always do what I think after all :-) And can others really know what one thinks? Or they can only see what one does? So are thoughts whats inside you while most of actions are what you really want to be? Is that what thoughtfulness means - to do what you think...as against what we think - that is to think before you do!! 

For better or worse!

What is thinking positive? Is it thinking that whatever we do will yield good results or is it just a wishful thinking that in future, times will certainly be better.

Is positive thinking a way to escape from the details that actually might indicate a different and much worse outcome altogether? And in case if our minds actually processes some historical data and based on that come with a probability of success or failure - is it a hindrance in taking risks? Is it better to assume rather than assess.

"Things will be better" -- ofcourse in reality it doesnt always happen. But in believing this do we escape the best things that might be happening today. Do we tend to believe that today is not that good and tomorrow will certainly bring good times?

So, how do we know today is "the best" that could ever happen to us or the "better than the best" will only arrive in future...Or may be we should just believe in "good" -- better, best, worse, worst are all hypothetical superlatives that distort the good!!
